This week I found out that my very hard to fit feet fit well and feel great in Van's authentic tie shoes. And I found a pair I love and have already worn.

Today I found this:

The idea of choosing my color/pattern combination and style shoes is very tempting. It has been eye opening to see how each choice affects the other choices. Adding a white or dark or bright or pastel or even a similar color changes the vibe of the shoe. Even changing the binding can make a dramatic change. Playing with this feature is a fast and easy education in color, balance, etc. and is directly applicable to outfit making, travel packing, etc.

I'm finding it fun, educational, and it's free.*

*playing is free. I haven't gotten to the point where I find out the cost of the shoes.
